Nance, Rep. l; Livingston, Rep, 1; Thayer, 1;
Duworth, Rep. l; Majors, Rep, l; Dundy, Rep,

Gratis "a, and the Republicans So, distributed

probably caucus to night and concentrate their
strength on one man. The first joint ballot will
take place at noon tomorrow The indications
at this time for deadlock are very favorable
and it is conceded that VanWyck in to-day's
ballot, received four votes from Democrats.
The only question now is, whether he can or not
secure enough Democrats to secure his election.
1t is conceded that he will ges quite number of
additional Democrats, but the anti-VanWyck
men confidently claim that he caunot control
enough to secure his election.

cabinet did their best to satisfy him. By the
last of October Mcclellan had well equipped
army OF 14.2S5 men, his effective force,
ready for lighting. There was an aggregate
OF 16S,3lS. The people expected the Young
Napoleon TO fight. He talked about striking
an effective blow and making n "short,
sharp, decisive" campaign, which should finish
the war; Opposed to him ut Centreville and
Manassas was Il Confederate force Of $4,000
effective men.
President Lincoln was exceedingly anxious
that the favoritc general should strike the
grand blow he lad promised. ''If something
il not done soo.,, said Lincoln, 1.-THE bottom
will fall out Of everything"
Mcclellan announced that the ''crllshing
defeat Of the rebel army Mt Manassas' was
his object, and that an advance against it
''should not be postponed beyond Nov. 25. :"
That date came and went, the year 1861 faded
out and 1SG? was ushercd in, and still no
great blow was struck. In February, in n
letter to President Lincoln, tho general says:

Lincoln. Once the anxious president called

was Ill and could not sec him. But next day
Mcclellan was dressed and out riding. TO oil
attempts to urge him forward he replied that
he was not ready.

ON TO RICHMOND,

Gen. Mcclellan had expected tho constant
cooperation Of the navy in the campaign Of
tho Peninsula. Gunboats and transports
were to move up tho rivers, conveying troops
aud supplies, and lowering as protection to
tho force that moved by land between tho
rivers. The James river was ut that time in
possession of the Confedcra6es, but the gen.
eral hoped, "by rapid movements" ;" to open
up the James river and capture Johnston's
army and Richmond before re-enforcements
could arrive from the west and south.
For some time previous the United States
navy had been engaged in watching the Con
fedcratc ram Mcrrimac at Fortress Monroe.
But the duel between the Monitor and Merri-
mac, OFF Hampton Roads, Marrl, 9, and thu
presence of the Monitor at the fortress left
